So I installed 2.5.5 in my user environment, and it was working fine.

Interestingly, the SA report did *not* have SPAM: prepended to every
line.  I didn't customize the report template at all.

Shortly thereafter, my web/mailhost installed 2.5.4, including
spamd.  I decided to start using it, since spamc was much more
efficient than running the full spamassassin for every mail.

However I noticed that SPAM: started getting prepended to every
line of the report.  When I looked in the systemwide conf file, I
saw the following:

## OLD-STYLE TEMPLATE FOR BODY REPORT

clear_report_template
report -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ----------------------
report This mail is probably spam.  The original message has been altered
report so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future.
report See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details.
report                      
report Content analysis details:   (_HITS_ points, _REQD_ required)
report _SUMMARY_            
report -------------------- End of SpamAssassin results ---------------------

Hrm, ok, suddently I was getting extra ------ lines in the suspected
spam I had to review (easily removed), no Content preview (remedied
with the _PREVIEW_ variable that I guessed on, but couldn't find
documented anywhere), and arrrrgh, the annoying SPAM: prefix on every
line.

Since it's getting filtered into my suspected spam folder (via the
X-Spam-Flag), I really don't need that SPAM: prepend.

So what gets me is, ok, fine, I'm using the system's version, I'll
live.  But where in the code is SPAM: getting prepended?  I grepped
through my locally installed copy of SA couldn't find it.

If they hadn't modified the system-wide default report template,
would I not be seeing it?

And oh, why isn't _PREVIEW_ documented anywhere?  I find it incredibly
valuable,
